[QUOTE="500mag_guy, post: 888125, member: 34924"] My longest shot to date was at 1120 yards on a mule deer doe broadside no wide. Calculated everything and took the shot. I had two guys on spotting scopes and they both called about minute high. Instead of adjusting and taking another shot I personally had to figure out what was wrong before i would send the next shot.. She wasn't hit and only spooked a short distance so I went to my calculator and after going through everything a couple times I realized that in the heat of the moment I had forgot to enter my 7* slope. Added up to be 3/4 MOA. Dropped down and sent it off and down she went. As you said with all of our experience behind the rifle on paper has help us diagnose the problem and take a follow up shot in the field. Yes I could have very easily just followed the call and dropped a minute but for myself figuring out the problem, correcting and making the shot all just adds the the whole experience! [/QUOTE]
